Field Trials of AML Instruments – Squamish Inlet

Surveying the Squamish Delta with an MVP and X•Series instrumentation

"The use of the MVP allowed vessel speed to be maintained, reduced the number of line turns required during the survey, and is estimated to have increased the survey coverage and efficiency by 12%."

“I am quite astounded by the results of this test. I expected the UV antifouling system to be a significant improvement, perhaps doubling the time between required maintenance, but I did not expect it to outperform the TBT protected CTD. The UV protected CTD at our most challenging site has lasted over 15 months and shows no loss of accuracy yet.”

“The AML profilers performed flawlessly throughout the two-week survey, delivering precise and accurate SV data day-in and day-out. In particular, the use of the Data•Xchange interface resulted in significant time savings in the course of each cast and increased efficiency and productivity overall. A really good piece of kit.”

“Data•Xchange allows us to collect SV profiles and make them immediately available to the hydrographer without the added time consumption of unplugging/plugging in the impulse/serial connection. The time and cost savings become significant when performing projects requiring multiple weeks or months of data collection.”

“The cost of the UV system is about 25% of one maintenance trip to the Folger Pinnacle site, so this technology will have a signiﬁcant impact on the operations budget, in addition to improving the data quality.”

"The MVP System proved itself to be very reliable, robust and relatively easy to operate. The capability to perform CTD cast while the vessel is underway not only saves a lot of time and labour but contributes to increased Multibeam data quality and significantly increases daily and overall production."

“CR deployed a newly acquired Minos•X SVP during a series of offshore multibeam bathymetric surveys... Software and hardware setup was intuitive and successful casts were made within minutes of installation. Wireless data transfer between the sensor and PC was automatic, and cast data were usually displayed on the survey PC monitor by the time we returned from deck. Hysteresis was not observed in any of the hundreds of SVP casts...

"The MVP is a great piece of kit especially here over the Labadie bank where we are requiring 4 casts over a distance of 10km to keep SV control for the MBES systems"

The UV protected CTD at our most challenging site has lasted over 15 months and shows no loss of accuracy yet.”

“After 15 months and still going, at our worst bio-fouling site, the sensors remain clean and operating fine. We are all absolutely amazed. AML Oceanographic has really made a revolutionary advance in anti-biofouling technology with this new product."

"Six weeks into our test, the unprotected oxygen sensor was clearly fouled while the UV protected sensor is still producing reasonable data."
